repo updates for Tumbleweed must be atomic
by Olaf Hering 18 Oct '21

18 Oct '21

While mirroring /tumbleweed/repo/oss from another mirror via rsync it became clear that these secondary mirrors do not provide atomic updates. The files are updated in random order. Most likely rsync was invoked without --delay-updates. Perhaps also without --partial and proper --partial-dir=DIR, in case this actually combines well with --delay-updates, just to avoid errors like rsync: send_files failed to open "/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/.lazarus-2.0.12-2.1.x86_64.rpm.C11vZI" (in opensuse): Permission denied (13) I do not know for how long rsync mirrors are offered. Was there any effort to provide mirror admins with instructions about how to mirror a volatile installation repo properly? It is required to transfer repodata/repomd.xml at the very end to keep the repo itself consistent. It is required to transfer /boot/x86_64 with --delay-updates to make sure the installer does not access incompatible files. This part might be tricky. While I could certainly implement all the required checks myself to have a consistent local mirror, I wonder if this was already solved in a generic way, given the issue exists since a decade. smt-server and rmt-server deal with the repodata part already, but they miss support to mirror the inst-sys. And of course they are unable to fix a bad secondary mirror. Olaf

Broken mirror
by Ludwig Nussel 16 Sep '21

16 Sep '21

Hi, Some noticed zypper ref errors on TW after publishing of the snapshot a few minutes ago. Looks like for some reason http://mirror.lzu.edu.cn/ was the fastest one to pick up the metadata and was the only one for a while but returned 404 even though listed on http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/cba5409cbab9b2787… Maybe only works in China and needs to be disabled for other locations? cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer HRB 36809 (AG Nürnberg)

by Giacomo Comes 15 Jul '21

15 Jul '21

Hi, about a month ago Marcus Meissner reported to this list that http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/backports/ was not mirrored. As of today, the mirroring is still not happening. Example: https://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/update/leap/15.3/backports/ https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/opensuse/update/leap/15.3/backports/ are empty. Regards, Giacomo

Leap downloads are broken ticket poo#94273
by Lubos Kocman 19 Jun '21

19 Jun '21

Hello openSUSE! seems like the redirect for Leap doesn't work as expected. People are reporting that they're getting 404 for All Leap downloads. Same for me (I get redirected to widehat.opensuse.org which then returns 404). As an example would be any file from https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/iso/ Seems like this is a very recent issue. I did open the high priority ticket for Heroes as I couldn't see any public item in the openSUSE admin queue. The ticket is private until somebody from admins triages it. https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/94273 Thank you for your understanding and we're sorry for the inconvenience.

openSUSE Leap 15.3 - GM images are already available. Announcement on 2nd June.
by Lubos Kocman 28 May '21

28 May '21

Hello mirror admins, I'd like to notify you about next weeks release announcement for openSUSE Leap 15.3 The final GM Build (160.3) including images is already for about two days on download.opensuse.org. You get notification now because we've just eliminated last potential ship stopper. openSUSE Leap 15.2 retrospective showed us that hiding GM images causes more issues to mirrors than we'd like to. For this reason, we've decided not to hide GM images anymore. Final Leap 15.3 images are already available here https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/iso/ It doesn't mean that Leap 15.3 is GA as we aim with important maintenance updates on June 2nd when we'd like to announce global availability. I hope that you appreciate our new release model, which should make your life hopefully easier. As a side note, We're still making sure that download-o-o is in shape (currently few issues with appliances), however, iso and rpm repositories are final. FYI: last year's retrospective here https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:15.2/Retrospective#.28In-.29Visibility_of_GM… This GA task is tracked as https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/76630 Best regards Lubos Kocman Release Manager openSUSE Leap
